Pregnant but am I loosing

[linzi321]

I found out in Tuesday that I'm 6 weeks pregnant only reason I did a test was I was late, nit feeling pregnant at all, I was shocked but am so happy,
I had sex this morning with my partner and I've been bleeding all day not loads just very pink when I wipe after I been to the loo.
Could I be losing my very much loved baby inside me.
I don't want to go to the hospital as I don't think anything will get done today as it's a Sunday. Please help!!!

Bleeding in pregnancy is fairly common but you should ALWAYS contact your GP (or midwife) IMMEDIATELY.

It's me saying that, it's this page from the NHS website:

Phone your doctor's out-of-hours number NOW. There's no need to fear the worst but there's every need to ensure that the worst doesn't happen.

Oops!

The word 'not' seems to have gone missing from the start of my second sentence, but I'm sure that my meaning is clear anyway.

I repeat:
PICK UP THE PHONE NOW !!!

Just relax......you may or may not be miscarrying and noting medically can be done at this stage. You will need to "sit out" the next 24hours. If the bleeding gets heavier or you develop abdominal pain, then call your GP.

if its old blood (darker in colour) could still be old bits of lining. If quite bright red fresh blood could be bad news. Either way ring midwife x

See what happens tomorrow - you do need to be careful about sex at the time when your period would have been due - I know of several women (including close to me) who didn't realise that caution needed to be exercised at this time. If you are still worried tomorrow, go and see your GP - don't hang about waiting to see what happens.

This is my dilemma it's a
Light pink blood not Frank blood
I don't have a midwife yet as I have mot been to the doctors my appointment isn't untill thursday, should I ring out of hours doctors and see what they say or leave it and see if it gets heavier, as I'm only six weeks is there anything that can be done??

Don't panic linzi, a friend of mine was having regular periods until her 6th month. She didn't even know she was pregnant until after missing one she went to the dr and was told she was due in 'probably about 8 weeks'!
Quite a surprise as she had been bemoaning the fact that I was pregnant and she couldn't seem to 'catch'. In the end her son was born the day after mine.

linzi....DON:T PANIC...this is NOT an emergency....I agree with boxtops.

Noting medically NEEDS doing.

See your GP tomorrow if you are still concerned.

I doubt you're losing the baby, it's just that at 6 weeks, it's technically when you'd be having the 2nd menstrual period you've missed, and it's just spotting, so it's nothing to worry about, I doubt. If it gets heavier and very dark red, then it's possible you're miscarrying. I have lost two babies, and have got 3 healthy babies, all of which I bled at ten weeks with. Best wishes.
